From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Creative; Q312461) Description of problem: The installer finds my Adaptec AHA-2930U2 and attached HD and then proceeds to try and find an attached CDROM. It fails to find my Yamaha CDROM (SCSI). No errors are reported when loading the aic7xxx driver with the noprob option and using the verbose option. The reports just list the HD. The CDROM and HD are are different channels. The hardware works fine when booting under RedHat 6.x and both the HD and CDROM are recognized. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start installer. 2. Follow steps to tell installer to load from local CDROM 3. Actual Results: Install loops to list of potential SCSI drivers except that the aic7xxx driver is missing from the list. Expected Results: The installer should have found the RedHat 7.3 CDROM #1. Additional info:
What type of motherboard is this with?
The motherboard is a Supermicro DBE dual processor.
Doug any ideas why we would see the HD and not the CDROM?
This looks similar to a problem I have found and not solved on my system:- The system is an Olivetti KPC TWXX, 100MHz dual Pentium 1 machine with 48M ram and an Adaptec AHA-2940 SCSI card. The RH7.3 is on CD, the CD reader being on the SCSI. It boots from the CD, and launches the installer program. However, it them appears to fail to load (reload?) the scsi driver, and on screen 3 the following appears (without my typing and copying mistakes!): * found aic7*** device * modules to insert 3c59c aic7xxx * inserted /tmp/3c59x.0 /tmp/aic7xxx.0 init_module: Hint insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters * probing for floppy drives * failed to insert /tmp/aic7xxx.0 So, it then can not find anything on the scsi bus! I have tried 1) removing the 3c59x network card 2) using a floppy to boot the install 3) using an ide CD drive to install and they all hit the same problem. I have used the same RH7.3 CD's to install a text only linux system on another low powered box, using a scsi bus with an Adaptec aic7xxx card, and that worked. On the running RH7.1 on the same box, lspci -vvx gives the following information, which may help: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82434LX [Mercury/Neptune] (rev 11) Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr+ Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=slow >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort+ >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 00: 86 80 a3 04 46 01 00 24 11 00 00 06 00 20 00 00 10: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 30: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00:05.0 Non-VGA unclassified device: Intel Corporation 82375EB (rev 03) Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 248 00: 86 80 82 04 07 00 00 02 03 00 00 00 00 f8 00 00 10: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 30: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 30) Subsystem: 3Com Corporation 3C905B Fast Etherlink XL 10/100 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 (2500ns min, 2500ns max), cache line size 08 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: I/O ports at fc00 [size=128] Region 1: Memory at fffbfc00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128] Expansion ROM at fe000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0- ,D1+,D2+,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- 00: b7 10 55 90 17 01 10 02 30 00 00 02 08 20 00 00 10: 01 fc 00 00 00 fc fb ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 b7 10 55 90 30: 00 00 00 fe dc 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0b 01 0a 0a 00:0e.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-294x / AIC-7871 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 32 (2000ns min, 2000ns max), cache line size 08 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 15 Region 0: I/O ports at f400 [size=256] Region 1: Memory at fffbe000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Expansion ROM at fe000000 [disabled] [size=64K] 00: 04 90 78 71 07 00 80 02 00 00 00 01 08 20 00 00 10: 01 f4 00 00 00 e0 fb ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 30: 00 00 00 fe 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0f 01 08 08 00:0f.0 VGA compatible unclassified device: S3 Inc. 86c964 [Vision 964 VRAM] vers 0 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap- 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Region 0: Memory at 21000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8M] Expansion ROM at 20000000 [disabled] [size=64K] 00: 33 53 d0 88 03 00 00 02 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 10: 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 30: 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Regards David Lee, UK
